[...] He is the one who has to deal primarily with the practical aspects of our relationship, and in the business of translating my reality into your world.

(Long pause at 10:01.) Others have indeed sensed me — Sue [Watkins]⁷ for example — but the relationship there is far different, and it is important for Ruburt that he have clear-cut areas, which I respect.

[...] He should remember that many people have far greater hassles … with health, personal relationships, finances and vocations, and without any satisfying accomplishments to offset their misfortunes.

Your mind is equipped with a certain mental understanding, as your body is equipped with an automatic physical understanding of its nature in relationship with the environment. Your physical senses correlate fairly quickly, so that consciously you are aware of your physical stance and relationship with the immediate physical world. [...]

[...] There you deal with ideas and concepts in a far different context, if you prefer, one that deals with similarities, complementary relationships, unities. [...]

[...] These basic thought-processes, then, are too vast to be consciously apprehended, for they deal with meanings and relationships that reach before and after your life spans.

In that mental system, therefore, each detail is known with all of its probable variations, and in its relationship to all of the other multitudinous and indeed infinite living details that compose any given day. [...]

You, as teacher in this love relationship now, can count oddly enough on the passivity of his nature, and play on this, for then assured, reassured, the super-conscientious self can allow the spontaneous self to emerge in the sex relationship.

[...] Use the word husband often, reminding him of your realistic relationship. [...]

You can be stern here, again counting on his passivity in the love relationship. [...]

There were deeply-significant roots to his relationships with the various priests, that had almost magical connotations to him and his psyche. [...]

[...] This does not mean that if you become consciously aware of such affiliations you must then feel it your responsibility to form a kind of culture of counterparts, or to try and affect other people’s lives by reminding them of your relationship. [...]

[...] They represent the kind of relationships that you take for granted. [...]

[...] With one exception — that of Sue Watkins — all the names given by Seth, involving counterpart relationships, have been changed. [...]

[...] Yet in each case the relationships noted indicate inner realizations and connections. [...]

While your relationship, that is the relationship between you and Ruburt, is extremely helpful to you both, you have a tendency, each of you, to become ingrown; and psychically you do need a variety, influx and the diversified data subconsciously obtained from others, as you also add to their influx.

He is confident of his basic worth as an individual, as a writer, and even finally as a wife in relationship to you. [...]

Later circumstances forced him outward, and yet whenever circumstances permit as far as business relationships are concerned, and situations, he will stay where he is.

[...] He is actually more frightened by business relationships than you are, to say the least, even granting that his training is not as specific. [...]

[...] Ella was the one strong enough to give love to another, you see, in her relationship to her husband. The only one able to express a close relationship. [...]

[...] The fetus however will also react to the death of an animal in the family, and will already be acquainted with the unconscious psychic relationships within the family, long before it reaches the sixth month. [...]

[...] They had been brothers, and your father somewhat resented the change in relationship even while he chose it.

[...] We can go into the family relationship or not, as you choose.

You might find yourself in a completely different body, or in a different time, or of course in a different perspective of relationships—but you are your own reference point. [...]

A daughter, however, would have given him a beneficial relationship, someone with whom he could discuss such feelings, as he did with you in the dream. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Such probable currents ride beneath all relationships. [...]

Besides the physical relationships that each of you know, therefore, you have other brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, on a psychic level; and to that degree, you are not alone. [...]

(Part of my surprise stemmed from what I’d taken to be my knowledge of Jane’s relationship with her father. [...]

1. I can note a good deal later that Seth’s material on our making further distinctions in the families of consciousness, beyond the nine he’s already named for us, is certainly related to the passages from a private session that I quoted in the last three paragraphs of Note 8 for the 732nd session: Seth stated that Peter Smith and I “are and are not counterparts” — that with another in this life each of us may often come together, then part, “forming a counterpart relationship when it suits your purposes….”

[...] But personally, I think the most important part of those notes is Jane’s contribution to them, wherein she discusses her subjective relationship with Seth.

[...] The entire episode is presented in an appendix in Section 4. In another appendix I explore the relationship between Jane and Seth, using many quotes from previously unpublished sessions.

We have an abbess (Yvette) and in the relationships of those days there was an easygoing give and take between the convent and the house of the priest, and you were rather closely involved. [...] Now, these two are not as widely separated as it would appear for in both aspects you were dealing with strong personal relationships. [...]

([Jason:] “Yes, but why the relationship between them now?”)

The relationship is complicated. [...]

([Yvette:] “Should I continue to have a relationship with her at all?”)

[...] At such times consciousness simply puts itself in a different relationship with time and space. [...] It is by altering its own relationship with the physical universe that consciousness can best understand its own properties, and glimpse from another vantage point that physical universe, where it will be seen in a different light. [...]

[...] Even if an individual leaves the body and wanders about the room no more than a few feet away from where the body is located,³ there are alterations, dash — the relationship of consciousness to the room is different. The relationship of the individual to time and space has altered. [...]

[...] Only in certain kinds of civilizations, for that matter, is such a close body-and-main-consciousness relationship necessary. [...]

This does not mean that an alienation results in those realities — simply a relationship in which the body and consciousness relate to other events. [...]

[...] You have at different times adopted different methods and adjustments, but your physical relationship has been structured not around mutual pleasure but instead about the fear of having children.

[...] It tended for a while to erode your relationship, and to some extent to set portions of yourselves against other portions. [...]

[...] Here again the threat to the prime directives, for he feels, and so do you, your work and the sessions quake when your relationship goes toward either extreme.

[...] I started it because of a couple of questions I had about our relationship with Prentice-Hall. [...]

[...] It took me long enough in your terms to set up our communications, and our relationships in the past helped in this behalf. (Reincarnational relationships.) It is quite natural that others in your acquaintanceship who are experimenting should go through a stage in which it seems to them they are receiving information from me. [...]

There is also something else that he seems to have forgotten—that your own relationships, yours and Ruburt’s and the relationships between us in the past, do much to make our communication possible. [...]

[...] The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor.

I mentioned the chemical relationship between your universe and the dream universe. There are like relationships of one kind or another that tie together all fields and systems, from the largest to the most minute. [...]

[...] For that reason I will try whenever possible to relate terms with which you are familiar in ways so that their relationships will be clearly seen.

My wife died in September 1984, and given her reincarnational relationship with Seth, as described by him, I strongly suspect that the two of them are together now. In what kind of a relationship? [...]

[...] Sometimes he mentioned reincarnational relationships or heritages—again, briefly.
